The safety of natural diet pills has been called into question. Regardless of the fact that the companies which sell these supplements claim that they are safe and natural, there are still risks associated. Lack of regulation from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, means that the over-the-counter supplements are free to make any claims they wish. They are also allowed to use ingredients that may not be safe. The Mayo Clinic suggests paying close attention to the labels of natural supplements advertised to aid in weight loss. Speak with your doctor about any supplements you are thinking about taking.
Puritan's Pride GTF Chromium
GTF Chromium is one of the supplements offered by Puritan Pride to help with weight loss. The product is reported as being safe for vegetarians because it is created with yeast cells. The Mayo Clinic indicates that the product is used to increase muscle mass, diminish appetite and boost metabolism. As far as weight loss supplements go, the Mayo Clinic indicates that the evidence is not sufficient to determine whether GTF Chromium works. It does suggest that the supplement is "likely safe."
GNC Total Lean CLA
GNC markets a weight loss supplement to help in the development of lean muscle mass. It is also sold to aid in the reduction of body fat. The product is called Total Lean CLA. Conjugated linoleic acid is the main ingredient that aids in weight loss. The 2,000 mg ingredient is suggested by GNC as a safe and effective way to lose weight by increasing energy and metabolism. The Mayo Clinic suggests that Total Lean CLA is "possibly effective." The product's best quality is that it is stimulant free.
Schiff Green Tea
The Schiff company recommends weight loss through the use of green tea extract. Its Green Tea Diet Pills make use of green tea extract because of its high levels of antioxidants and its ability to assist in weight loss. The supplement contains chromium picolinate to assist with the stabilization of blood sugar levels. The Mayo Clinic lists the supplement as being "possibly safe," but does not take a stance on its effectiveness in weight loss as there is not enough evidence to suggest green tea's ability to facilitate such results.
Recreate
Recreate is popular for having no caffeine present; the majority of fat burning substances on the market contain at least 300 mg of caffeine. Recreate contains a natural ingredient known as circimarin, which studies have concluded stimulates fat loss at a rate of 20 times higher than caffeine. You will notice extreme results after 60 days of using Recreate.
MX-LS7
Maximum Strength Lean System 7 is a product that burns fat quickly. The supplements contain ingredients known as 7 keto and Forslean. These products speed up the production of the T3 thyroid hormone. An increase in thyroid activity aids in the fat burning process. The product also contains yerba mate, green tea, synephrine and caffeine; all of which aid in the increase of the natural thermogenic effect. MX-LS7 makes claims that its safety has been scientifically proven and that it significantly increases the rate of metabolism.
